Medicine is a science which hath been more professed than laboured, and yet more laboured than advanced; the labour having been, in my judgment, rather in a circle than in progression.

Lord Kelvin, if you find - in the popular imagination - such deviations from reality to be distracting, I fear you shall become so devoted to trying to explain to people that they are living in Plato's cave, that by the end of your life you shall have good units of measure that well represent reality named after you.Heuristic shortcuts are EVERYWHERE. Most heartbreaking (to me) is when someone is imprisoned or excommunicated or killed because they used reality (or its closest proxy) as their benchmark, and their judges (&/or police) did not. An almost-literal witch-hunt.

@jonmsterling I once read of someone being complemented for their ability to think outside the box, to which they replied: "there is no box", and then after further thought they added: "you invented the box".
I write wagering that you might sympathise with such a commentator, who finds themselves explaining to their listener that they might live in, or have their thought constrained by, a box of their own making.
In a not-wholly-dissimilar vein, I wish that I knew to whom to attribute the quote "there's no such thing as software", which I came across, I assume written by an electrical engineer, when I read for the first time of Single Event Upsets or Bit-Flips.
As an aside I am also reminded of this short fictional story from @linuxgal https://techhub.social/@linuxgal/115442398217937734

Agatha Christie could have written the murder mystery that Bacon relates about the case of Somerset murdering Overbury by poisoning. Agatha would have known better poisons to use anyway.

Francis Bacon, artist, is born in 63 Lower Baggot Street a couple of days before Hallowe'en in 1909; his parents live in Canning Court, Brennockstown, Co Kildare. I think the Kennedy attesting to the birth is probably Kate Olivia Kennedy, who has an obstetric hospital in No 88 in the census

Bacon was a patron of Libraries and developed a system for cataloguing books, and after retiring from Parliament, one of his pastimes was writing. There is a theory that it was Bacon who wrote all the plays attributed to William Shakespeare.
